In the past, orthodontic appliances were most often put on the mandibular first molar to upright the mesially impacted mandibular second molar. With this setup, the interbracket distance between the first and second molars would be decreased remarkably. Decreased interbracket distance and limited working space in the molar area force clinicians to make the uprighting appliances with arduous wire bending and/or time consuming laboratory procedures. In this report, a piece of open coil, carried by a 0.018 nickel titanium archwire, was engaged, bypassing the first molar, between the second premolar and the mesially impacted second molar, to upright the latter. The technique is a simple, easy, and effective treatment for both unilateral and bilateral cases, and can be applied to correct the mesial impaction of other molars.
